Garage Floor Coating FAQs

Most floors are fully cured within 24-48 hours. Foot traffic is typically allowed after 12-24 hours, and vehicle traffic after 24-48 hours. Polyaspartic coatings cure in as little as 8 hours.

We price by the job, not by the square foot. This means fair pricing for showers, patios, and small garages. Text or call for a free, no-obligation estimate.

Yes. Every job comes with a 3-year labor warranty. If the coating peels, lifts, or fails because of how it was installed, Tonny comes back and makes it right. When Tonny supplies the materials through his preferred suppliers like Sherwin-Williams, those products also carry their own manufacturer's warranty, so you're covered on both ends. If you choose to supply your own materials, the 3-year warranty applies to labor only, since Tonny can't stand behind a product he didn't source.

Yes, we coat patios, lanais, showers, bathrooms, and restrooms. These spaces need waterproof, slip-resistant, and easy-to-clean surfaces.

Over 140 color options with decorative flakes. You can choose full coverage or light flake, and we can custom blend colors to match your home.

Most garages take 1 day. Larger projects or those requiring extensive concrete repair may take 2-3 days. We'll give you a timeline during the consultation.

Yes, we handle warehouses, factories, manufacturing facilities, and other industrial spaces. We use heavy-duty materials designed for high traffic.

Both are premium garage floor coating systems, but they work differently. Epoxy floor coating bonds deeply to concrete and is extremely durable and cost-effective -- it's the most popular choice for residential garage floors in the Hardeeville, Bluffton, and Savannah area. Polyaspartic coating is UV-stable so it won't yellow in sunlight, cures in as little as 8 hours, and handles temperature swings better than standard epoxy. It's a great fit for outdoor patios, commercial spaces, and customers who need the garage back fast. Tonny installs both systems and will recommend the right one for your concrete, your climate, and your budget.

Yes, the garage needs to be cleared before installation. We'll help you coordinate the timing and provide tips to make the process easy.

Start with our free online Garage Floor Visualizer to preview different flake color blends on a floor like yours. Tonny can also bring a physical sample board of the most popular colors to your in-person so you can see exactly how those colors look under real light, not just on a screen. He works with the full Sherwin-Williams decorative flake system, giving you options from neutral grays and tans to bold custom blends. If you have a specific look in mind, just describe it and Tonny will match you to the closest option before any work begins.

Epoxy has four real drawbacks. It yellows and fades under direct UV light, so it is a poor choice for sun-exposed areas. It cures slowly, typically taking two to three days before you can park on it. It is rigid, so it can crack if the slab underneath moves. And it is unforgiving about preparation, meaning it will peel if it is applied over a sealed, dirty, or damp slab. None of these rule epoxy out. They just mean epoxy belongs indoors, on a sound slab, installed by someone who does the prep.

Polyaspartic costs more per square foot than epoxy, usually noticeably more. It also cures very fast, which sounds like an advantage but means the installer has a short working window and little room to correct mistakes, so it punishes inexperience. Some formulations have a strong odor during application. And because it goes on thin, it is less effective than a thick epoxy build at filling minor surface imperfections in the slab.

Neither is better in every situation. Polyaspartic is the better choice when you need UV stability, fast return to service, or flexibility over a slab that moves slightly, which covers most garages, patios, and sun-exposed areas. Epoxy is the better choice when you want a thick build coat that levels a rough slab, or when budget is the deciding factor on an indoor floor. Most of the floors Tonny installs use both: an epoxy base for build and adhesion, with a polyaspartic topcoat for UV resistance and wear.

Custom Garage Coatings prices by the job rather than by the square foot, so a 400 square foot garage does not have one fixed number. Square footage is only one input. The bigger cost drivers are the condition of the slab, how much grinding and crack repair it needs, whether an old coating has to come off, and which system you choose. A clean newer slab costs less to prepare than a fifty year old slab with a failed sealer on it, even at identical size. Text Tonny the size and a photo of the floor and he will give you a real number for your specific job at no charge.

A professionally installed epoxy and polyaspartic system lasts 10 to 20 years in a residential garage. A big-box roll-on epoxy kit typically lasts one to three years. The difference is almost entirely preparation. Coatings fail at the bond line, not in the middle of the film, which means a floor that was ground properly outlasts a floor that was not, regardless of which product went on top.
